One of Chen Nianzhi's trusted maids, whom she had brought with her from Beiyan, asked her, "Miss, how do you plan to deal with these men with ill intentions?"
Chen Nianzhi laughed, "How can I possibly handle this?"
Thanks to her, her maid, like other confidants she brought from Beiyan, had their faces slightly adjusted by Yu Zizhen.
The reason for this effort is that Chen Nianzhi's life is not as good as hers, so she can't wait to get rid of or even kill those who know her true identity.
She is a person with bottom lines and conscience. As long as these subordinates who have shared life and death with her and have always been loyal to her remain loyal to her in the years to come, she will never give up on them for anyone or anything.
So even though they were not very adaptable to the living habits and thinking patterns of the Han people, and were far less clever than some of the servants sent to her by Yu Zizhen, Chen Nianzhi still regarded them as her confidants.
After eliminating the group of people with poor character with the help of Yu Zizhen, Chen Nianzhi did not lower his principles and standards just because other people stopped coming to him.
If she gets married in the near future, she will only consider marrying Yu Zicheng, with whom she has an emotional foundation. She is now putting forward conditions and pretending to have no lover, just because this is more in line with the code of conduct in this world that is much stricter on women than on men.
Yu Zicheng, who really wanted to marry Chen Nianzhi, understood very well that the girl had no choice but to do so, but he still felt a sense of urgency because of her popularity.
He frequently visited Princess Zhenbei, asking her to propose marriage for him as soon as possible.
Princess Zhenbei was so disappointed, "She is so rebellious, and you still want to marry her?"
Yu Zicheng served her tea and water like a servile servant, "Mother, your son will be stationed in the Northern Territory in the future. It doesn't make any difference to me whether she lives in the Zhenbei Palace or not."
Princess Zhenbei was so angry that she wanted to hit him. "It makes no difference to you, but what about me, your mother? I married a daughter-in-law, but she lives in a separate house from me, and I don't allow my in-laws to use the rules that govern ordinary women in the inner house to restrain her. What authority do I have as a mother-in-law?"
To put it bluntly, she really wants to act like a mother-in-law in front of her future daughter-in-law.
"Besides, you don't mind that she doesn't live in the mansion, and you don't mind that she doesn't allow us to use the rules that bind ordinary women in the inner house to restrain her. Then don't you mind the issue of the heir inheritance of the Zhenbei Palace?"
"She's so jealous, she doesn't have the bearing of a lady of a wealthy family, let alone a qualified wife of a clan. Are you going to abandon the Zhenbei Palace and the Yu family for the sake of your own love?"
Yu Zicheng was in a dilemma. Every time he talked about this with his mother, she would use the palace and the clan to pressure him. He was really fed up with listening to her.
He took a deep breath and patiently said to Princess Zhenbei, "Mother, it's not like Miss Chen is really infertile. She said that just because she doesn't want her future husband's family to take advantage of her. As long as she can give birth, even if I don't take a concubine, the Zhenbei Palace will not be without a successor."
"As for the issue of jealousy, mother, do you wish for your father to have many wives and concubines?"
Princess Zhenbei was stunned by his question. She couldn't say she was willing in front of Yu Zicheng, because in front of Yu Zicheng, she had never concealed her dissatisfaction with the concubines, maids, and illegitimate sons and daughters of the King of Zhenbei.
Yu Zicheng sighed, "Mother, I don't want my child to go through the same upbringing as me."
Even though he had the support of his powerful mother, Princess Zhenbei, his life was still quite difficult before Yu Zizhen ascended the throne.
Beneath the appearance of gorgeous clothes, he carries a heart that has experienced countless trials and tribulations.
Princess Zhenbei was stunned by the fleeting weariness and grief on his face. She was silent for a while, "Then it's as you wish. I will help you propose to that woman."
The King of Zhenbei is not a bastard who favors his concubine over his wife, but he cannot resist the spontaneous ambitions of some women and children in his backyard.
Those who are sensible will only focus on the King of Zhenbei, while those who are not will directly attack Yu Zicheng.
In fact, Princess Zhenbei should have been one of their targets, but who made Princess Zhenbei not get pregnant and give birth to a child in so many years?
Between a princess who can't bear children and the only son she has left by her side, who is more worthy of attack?
There are many people who have this kind of idea. Even if Princess Zhenbei is so powerful, it is difficult for her to protect Yu Zicheng from any storm.
As for Yu Zicheng, although he survived the ordeal and grew up to his current age in good health and safety, it was obvious that he had not let go of the things that happened in his childhood and adolescence.
Princess Zhenbei has always loved Yu Zicheng. Whenever she thinks of the suffering Yu Zicheng suffered in the past, she can't help but grit her teeth. Now that Yu Zicheng has brought up the past again, Princess Zhenbei can't bear to continue arguing with him.
She took a deep breath and said, "Our family can agree to all three of her conditions, but there's only one: if she can't give birth to a son, then I hope you can divorce her when she's thirty."
The Zhenbei Palace cannot be without an heir.
Yu Zicheng nodded repeatedly, "I'll do as you say."
Princess Zhenbei felt a little relieved. She waved her hand to signal Yu Zicheng to leave. "Then I'll invite the official media here. You can do what you need to do. Don't stay here and get in my way."
Yu Zicheng achieved his goal and left with a smile on his face as he was told.
As for his promise to divorce Chen Nianzhi when she turned 30 if she couldn't give birth to a son, Yu Zicheng didn't think that he and Chen Nianzhi would not be able to have a son. Secondly, he felt that even if they were so unlucky, he could think of other ways to deal with his mother by then, such as asking Yu Zizhen to adopt a son for him.
As for adopting the sons of his half-brothers, Yu Zicheng said that he would not dare to have such an idea as it would make his mother furious and destroy the foundation of the Zhenbei Palace at all costs.
His half-brothers who wanted to fight but couldn't win, and wanted to lie down but couldn't get justice, have always been the biggest Achilles' heel of his mother.
The fact that she could let them jump around and be an eyesore in front of her was already her education helping her to restrain her primitive instincts. If those people dared to covet her son's things, Yu Zicheng believed that she would kill them without hesitation.
From the way Princess Zhenbei treats Yu Zizhen, it can be seen that he is a shrewd and paranoid person.
If she is really pissed off, Yu Zicheng believes that she will not give face to anyone.
